5.00Wow! This is a great trip. It may sound like a lot of money, but it is so worth it. The views on the roundtrip drive are amazing, and he navigated the roads with experience (over 25 years of touring I think) and skill. He did wonderful commentary on the sites, and had great videos on the bus about the area. He was a skilled geologist, botanist, ornithologist, historian, etc, and I learned so much, and it was very enjoyable. Our guide, Snowshoe John, was a dynamo, working hard setting up delicious breakfast and lunch buffets, and was always around to answer questions. We saw the things we wanted to see, and it would have taken us several days to see these things if we had to park and walk, but he could use bus parking! He knew times to avoid the crowds and other busses at sites, so we stayed on a great schedule so there was no wait at restroom stops, and hardly any wait at Gate Entrance. I am just sorry that 5 stars is the max I can give, as I highly recommend this trip.

5.00We totally loved the tour, and the main reason was the excellent tour guide we had. Snowshoe John was the best. His preparation, knowledge, and commentary, was excellent. He did such a great job at making sure we got history about the beautiful sceneryqq. Yes the scenery is what you took the tour for, which made the tour worth the money, but the guide took it to the next level. Highly recommend it.

5.00Outstanding experience! Our tour guide was a great driver , narrator, and passionate about the park. He combined narration with videos and provided plenty of stops as well as an excellent light breakfast and a delicious spread for lunch. The hike was a little challenging but well worth it.
